I just saw that VTubers hit over 500 million hours watched in the first quarter of 2025, which is wild. Even with fewer people streaming, more people are tuning in than ever before, and honestly, that says a lot about how far this space has come.

So what’s kept you watching lately? A favorite streamer, a moment you couldn’t forget, or something that made it feel real? Just curious what’s been keeping you hooked.

@Avatar-Alley Honestly, it’s the connection. Even small streamers feel so genuine, and there is always that one unexpected moment like a scuffed debut or off script rant that makes it all feel real. That’s what keeps me coming back.

Honestly, it is the mix of personality and creativity. Feels more real than most streamers, even with the avatars.

For me, it is just how fun and real some of them feel. Like, I will put on a stream while doing stuff and it feels like I am chilling with a friend. It is comforting.
